"My expectations from the university were perhaps too idealistic. I had dreams of learning things about innovation and discovery in the field of technology, but all of it hit the ground hard, when I faced with the pathetic reality of the so-called higher education system. To my surprise, I found myself stuck behind the walls of meaningless facts, figures and rankings. It occurred to me that, it was not actually a place for education, rather it was a place where you go to get your head filled with useless undigested information, that you'd probably never use throughout your entire life. It was not education, and moreover, it was definitely not science."

"Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself."

"The extra curricular activity in which I was most engaged - debating - helped shape my interests in public policy."

Policy

Joseph E. Stiglitz
"Amherst was pivotal in my broad intellectual development; MIT in my development as a professional economist."

Development

Quote_1.png
Joseph E. Stiglitz
"I think in part the reason is that seeing an economy that is, in many ways, quite different from the one grows up in, helps crystallize issues: in one's own environment, one takes too much for granted, without asking why things are the way they are."

Economy

Quote_1.png
Joseph E. Stiglitz
"There must have been something in the air of Gary that led one into economics: the first Nobel Prize winner, Paul Samuelson, was also from Gary, as were several other distinguished economists."

Influence

Quote_1.png
Joseph E. Stiglitz
"But individuals and firms spend an enormous amount of resources acquiring information, which affects their beliefs; and actions of others too affect their beliefs."

Action

Quote_1.png
Joseph E. Stiglitz
"In debate, one randomly was assigned to one side or the other. This had at least one virtue - it made one see that there was more than one side to these complex issues."

Virtue

"Amherst is a liberal arts college, committed to providing students with a broad education."

Education

Quote_1.png
Joseph E. Stiglitz
"I went to public schools, and while Gary was, like most American cities, racially segregated, it was at least socially integrated - a cross section of children from families of all walks of life."

Life

Joseph E. Stiglitz
"I, like many members of my generation, was concerned with segregation and the repeated violation of civil rights."

"As I noted in my Nobel lecture, an early insight in my work on the economics of information concerned the problem of appropriability - the difficulty that those who pay for information have in getting returns."
